The William Ashbless Memorial Cookbook

James B. Blaylock and Tim Powers give their fictional poet his own real-life recipes, and more, in The William Ashbless Memorial Cookbook. There's Chicken la Ashbless and Can O' Beans Salad, mini-essays inspired by Ashbless's letters to Dean Koontz, lots of good-natured cooking advice and even an afterward attributed to Ashbless, who indignantly notes that he isn't dead after all. Goofiness abounds.
